BioAdmin User Manual 14 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com 1. Getting Started 1.1. Outline This manual illustrates how to use BioAdmin software. BioAdmin is a PC Windows software for the control and management of Suprema’s BioEntry, BioStation and BEACon products. BioAdmin includes various functions needed for a host station for applications of access control and time & attendance using these devices. For proper hardware connection, please refer to BioEntry Installation manual and BioStation Installation manual. There are two approaches in managing BioEntry and BioStation. : z Using BioAdmin program which is the management software running on Windows based PC platforms. This manual is mainly focused on operating BioEntry and BioStation using BioAdmin software. z Integrating the management functionality into customer’s application software using SDK which contains versatile API’s to control BioEntry and BioStation. For further information, please refer to SFM SDK Reference Manual, BioStation SDK manual, and UniFinger Engine SDK Reference Manual. 1.2. Fundamentals This chapter provides introductive information on BioEntry, BioStation, and BioAdmin including basic concepts, operation flow, and overview of the software. 1.2.1. Finger scan device Fingerprint access device is a device to authenticate the identity of each person using fingerprints. It can be easily integrated into access control system by connecting with access control panel through industry standard interface such as Wiegand interface. Since fingerprints contain biometric features which are unique for each person, fingerprint access device can be substituted for existing access devices, such as barcode, magnetic card, keypad, or RF card devices, with high security and efficiency. 1.2.2. Finger scan smart card device Fingerprint smart card device is an advanced model of fingerprint access device
BioAdmin User Manual 15 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com which improves security of the system by integrating smart card technology. Fingerprint data for each person is stored on user’s smart card and the device authenticates the user by comparing the stored fingerprint data in the smart card with the input fingerprint data. 1.2.3. Template A template is the binary data representing the features of each fingerprint. The fingerprint image acquired from a fingerprint sensor is converted to a template, which is stored on the memory of the fingerprint access device or on user’s smart card. In authenticating a user, a new template is also generated and compared with the stored templates. 1.2.4. Enrollment Enrollment is the process to store the fingerprint template with user information. Through enrollment process, new users are entered into the system. 1.2.5. Verification Verification is the process of authenticating an input fingerprint with the fingerprint of the specified user. On BioEntry Smart, a user places smart card containing personal fingerprint template and user information. Then, the device carries out verification process by scanning an input fingerprint. On BioEntry Pass, verification process can be implemented by connecting external Wiegand device, such as RF card device, which provides the current user ID. 1.2.6. Identification Identification is the process of searching a matched fingerprint among the stored fingerprints on the device. BioEntry Pass and BioStation basically operate in identification mode, which requires no additional input except the placement of a finger. 1.2.7. User database User database includes user ID, user name, fingerprint templates, and so on. BioAdmin software is based on the central management of user database. That is, the user database is created, updated, and stored on the host PC. Then, it is selectively distributed to the BioEntry and BioStation connected on the network using transfer menu.
BioAdmin User Manual 16 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com 1.2.8. Transfer Transfer to Device is used to transfer the user database of the host PC to BioEntry and BioStation. The user information such as User ID, templates, access group, and security level is transferred by this process. Detailed operations are as follows. z Enroll new users on BioEntry and BioStation z Replace inconsistent templates on BioEntry and BioStation z Delete templates of unknown users or de-selected users on BioEntry and BioStation Transfer from Device is used to upload the user formation from BioEntry and BioStation to the database of host PC. The user information such as User ID, Template Number, Number of Access Group, and Security Level can be uploaded by this process. 1.2.9. Site key for smartcard Site key is a password for smart card to ensure that an authorized card should be used for a specific installation. 48 bit key is used in BioEntry Smart allowing 0 to 281374976710655 (0xFFFFFFFFFFFF). For proper operation, the same key should be configured on BioEntry Smart and user’s smart card. 1.3. How to place a finger 1.3.1. Select a finger to enroll (1) It is recommended to use an index finger or a middle finger. (2) Thumb, ring or little finger is relatively more difficult to place in a correct position. 1.3.2. How to place a finger on a sensor (1) Place a finger as it completely covers the sensor with maximum contact. (2) It is better to place the core part of a fingerprint to the center of a sensor.  People usually tend to place only the top end of a finger  Where is the core (center) of a fingerprint?  A peak where spirals of fingerprint ridges are dense  Usually opposite to lower part of a nail  It is recommended to place a finger as the lower part of a nail is located at the center of a sensor
BioAdmin User Manual 17 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com (3) If a finger is placed as in the right picture, only a small area of a finger is captured. So it is recommended to place a finger as in the left picture. 1.3.3. Tips for different finger conditions Suprema’s fingerprint products are designed to scan fingerprint smoothly regardless of the conditions of a finger skin. However, if a fingerprint is difficult to scan due to other influences, please refer to the followings tips. (1) If a finger is stained with sweat or water, scan after wiping moisture off (2) If a finger is covered with dust or impurities, scan after wiping them off (3) If a finger is way too dry, scan after blowing warm breath on a fingertip. 1.3.4. Advices on fingerprint enrollment (1) In fingerprint recognition, enrollment process is very important. Therefore, when enrolling a fingerprint, please try to place a finger correctly with care. (2) In case of low acceptance ratio, the following actions are recommended.  Delete enrolled fingerprints and re-enroll the fingers.  Enroll the same finger additionally  Try with another finger if a finger is not easy to enroll due to scar or worn-out.

When this tab is selected, the system setting page is updated on the main window. z Operation Mode  1:1 verification : if 1:1 mode is selected in BioEntry Smart, present user smart card first and finger scan starts. In case of BioEntry Pass, finger scan is processed by Wiegand input from external device such as ID card or user fingerprint.  1:N identification : in 1:N mode, finger scan (authentication) is done with user’s fingerprint only. As device sensor is always on input standby mode, 1:N scan starts right away once a finger is placed on.  Both : Both 1:1 verification and 1:N identification are supported.
BioAdmin User Manual 175 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com z Baud rate Baud rate is the number of times per second that the carrier signal value changes state. If you have some problems to communicate with BioEntry or with BioStation, changing baud rate to lower value can be a solution. z Image Quality When a fingerprint is scanned, the module will check if the quality of the image is adequate for further processing. The image quality parameter specifies the strictness of this quality check. z Security Level Security level specifies FAR(False Acceptance Ratio). If it is set to 1/100,000, it means that the probability of accepting false fingerprints is 1/100,000. Since FAR and FRR(False Rejection Ratio) is in inverse proportion to each other, FRR will increase with higher security levels. Default value is Auto Normal. z Scan Timeout Scan Timeout specifies the timeout period for user input. If a user does not make his/her finger scanned, place smartcard, or input Wiegand during this period, error will be returned. z Sensitivity Sensitivity specifies sensor sensitivity to detect a finger. On high sensitivity, the module will accept the finger input more easily. In other hand, by decreasing the sensitivity, the input fingerprint image will be more stabilized. In case of optical models, sensitivity to sunlight is also alleviated by decreasing sensitivity parameter. Default value is 7. z Fast Mode When more than hundreds of templates are stored in BioEntry, the matching time for 1:N identification can be very long. Fast Mode parameter can be used to shorten the 1:N matching time with little degradation of authentication performance. The security level – FAR – is not affected by this parameter, but the FRR can be a bit higher than in normal mode. In typical cases, Fast Mode 1 is as 2 ~ 3 times faster than Normal mode. And Fast Mode 5 is 6 ~ 7 times faster than Normal mode. Default value is 0. z Matching Timeout Timeout period for 1:N matching. If identification process is not finished during this period, error will be returned.

BioAdmin User Manual 184 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com BioEntry device is connected to the controller by ABA Track II output, not by Wiegand interface, you should check Use ABA Track II. In that case, the output signal will be in ABA Track II format. You can also specify the number of characters for ABA Track II output.  26 bit standard The 26 bit standard format is most widely used and consists of 8 bit FC code and 16 bit ID. You cannot change the bit definition and the parity bits in 26 bit standard format.  Pass Through format Pass Through format is used when only the format of ID field is known. When the Wiegand input string is detected, BioEntry device extracts ID bits and starts verification with the ID. If the verification succeeds, the device outputs the Wiegand input string as unchanged. Parity check and advanced options are ignored in this format. By definition, Pass Through format is only useful when the operation mode is 1:1. If the mode is 1:N, the bits other than ID field are set to 0. For example, assume that 32 bit Pass Through format is composed as follows: XIIIIIII IIIIIIIX XXXIIIII IIIIIIIX (left most bit is 0th bit, BIT0) I: Id field, X: Unknown field You can configure this format in the following sequences.
BioAdmin User Manual 185 Copyright © 2006, 2007 by Suprema Inc. http://www.supremainc.com  (1) Enter 32 in the Total Bits field.  (2) Select ID bits according to the definitions.  (3) Press Next. You cannot specify parity bits in Pass Through mode.  Custom format When users know all the information of a Wiegand format, Custom format can be defined. When a Wiegand input string is detected, BioEntry device checks the parity bits first. If all the parity bits are correct, the device extracts ID bits and starts verification with the ID. Users can also set alternative values of each field and enable advanced options such as Fail ID. If the verification succeeds, the device outputs a Wiegand string. The output string may be different from the input string according to the alternative values and advanced options. For example, assume that 44 bit Custom format is composed as follows: EAAAAAAA IIIIIIII IIIIIIII BBBBBBBI IIIIIIII IIIO (left most bit is 0th bit, BIT0) E: Even parity for BIT1 ~ BIT22 O: Odd parity for BIT23 ~ BIT42 I: ID bits(Field1 and Field 3), A: Field 0, B: Field 2 You can configure this format in the following sequences.
